Most modern organizations choose to handle employee disciplinary problems through a fair and equitable approach to the issue. For example, the organization might respond to a first offense with a minimal form of discipline and deal with subsequent offenses with more serious corrective actions. Of course, all of this depends on the severity of the infraction as well as the past history of disciplinary problems of the offender.

For this assignment, consider yourself a supervisor with a security organization faced with resolving the problems listed below. In each of these cases, you are to describe the disciplinary process that you would take with the individual and explain why you chose to handle the specific situation in the manner you selected.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:

1. It has been reported to you by a manager of your client company that one of your employees has been noted to have been sleeping on the job.
   • What would be your response if this employee had previously been reprimanded by the organization?
2. While making your rounds, you hear one of your male security employees telling a sexist joke to a female employee of the company.
   • What would your response be if this employee had previously been reported for the same type of complaint?
3. One of your security employees advises you that he believes that another one of your security employees has been taking merchandise from the organization that hired your security company. This employee has not actually seen the security officer take the merchandise but observed him placing a box in the dumpster and then, after getting off work, backing his truck up to the dumpster and taking what appears to be the same box out of the dumpster, placing it in his vehicle.
   • What would your response be with regard to the legal ramifications of this behavior?

You have a corrections officer who has worked in the county jail for 7 years. He has been described as a dedicated, competent employee, one who is well respected by colleagues and administrators alike. However, personal problems have arisen in his life. His wife is filing for divorce, and his daughter, contrary to his wishes, is involved with a man who has been arrested on several occasions for domestic violence. On this particular day, he reports for work tired and irritable after dealing with problems at home. One 18-year-old inmate quickly begins to get on his nerves. He never stops complaining, with most of his complaints directed at the officer. Finally, after telling the inmate to “shut up or else” several times, the officer lost control and slapped him hard across the face, leaving a mark and a small cut.

The confrontation was witnessed by other inmates. This is the first time that this has happened to the officer. His supervisor sends another officer to cover his post, and he reports to the superintendent’s office. He recounts the incident, concluding with “I did it; I hit him hard and deserve to be fired. Or would you let me resign? I am very sorry it happened this way.” During the initial investigation, the superintendent feels confident that the officer has violated several tenets outlined in the code of ethics for public safety personnel, and he forwards his disciplinary recommendation for your review.

Assignment Guidelines

Research the correctional officer codes of ethics to confirm any potential violations, as outlined by the superintendent. Then, address the following in 750-1,000 words:

After completing your review of the case file, explain what you would do under these circumstances.

For this task, you should first explain the role of corrections agencies and then research different codes of ethics related to corrections officers, and base your responses on a particular code of ethics. You can choose from codes of ethics promulgated by different professional associations such as the American Correctional Association, or you can use the code of ethics promulgated by a particular state’s department of corrections.

• What codes of ethics can you identify and how might they apply to this scenario? Explain.
  • Would you fire the corrections officer? Why or why not?
  • Would you allow him to resign instead of terminating him? Why or why not?
  • Is there another course of action that you would consider taking? If so, explain.
• Rationalize the decision you make.
  • How much weight, if any, should legitimately be given to his personal problems? Explain.
  • To what extent, if any, would your decision be guided by the institution’s subculture? Explain.
• Compile your responses to the above questions into a single Word document that you will submit to your instructor.
• Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
